More From The Sports Junkies

WASHINGTON (CBSDC) – When I was first put in charge of this blog over a year and a half ago (OMG), I had no prior blueprint to lean on, no idea of which direction to go in, and a general feeling of being in over my head.

But I knew, if I could replicate even a sliver of the chemistry the Junkies bring to every show, I’d find my way through the brackish waters of the internet, and a new home for Junkies content to live beyond 10 a.m. every day.

From the start, my guide has always been, ‘What would a Junkies listener want more of?’

It’s with that in mind, I bring you a web roundup of EB’s Entertainment Page from Friday, which is really just a nerdy way of saying ‘Here are the links to the stories which made up EB’s EP today.’

(Follow the links if you’d like to read more, and follow along [CTRL + left click] with the audio provided below.)
